Well 10 days to Nclex. I got a job offer for an L and D position that I wasn't expecting but am so happy to have. My husband also got a job offer after being laid off for 3 months but in Dallas. (I am in AZ). Trying to convince 3 teenagers that w...

I think it is a great resource. This and Uworld are amazing. Klimek has increased my Uworld percentages to the high 60s low 70s.

I don't have his books. Just the audios

I am July 6th. I am doing Uworld and listening to Mark Klimek. I am throwing Kaplan in there too since I was forced to pay for it with school.

Hooray!

Ixchel, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. This week I learned that when you have hyper or hypo kalemia... Your symptoms go the way of the prefix except for the heart urine output. The quickest way to fix hyperkalemia is to run D...

Congrats!

Oh and good luck!

I would scroll through past threads about Nclex. I am doing what you are doing except my school did Kaplan instead of Hurst.

I learned this week that I love the lecture audio from Mark Klimek. His content and tips for the Nclex are amazing! Here is what I learned In congenital heart deformities, if it begins with a T like Tetralogy of Fallot then it means trouble. If it ...

Fingers are crossed for you! My degree finally posted so hopefully I will get my ATT very soon. I am staying at my inlaws cabin in colorado for the next month and studying. I brought the dogs and kids with me. I learned that I love Uworld as a stu...

It's not always about you. Do your part of the project so I don't have to! Yes I have 15 years on you and those life lessons I have learned in those 15 years will help me as a nurse. So please stop looking at me like I don't know what I am talking ...

I learned this week that kids are dang resilient and amazing, I wish I could go on a tour and talk to parents with toddlers with developmental delays of various sorts and instill hope. All 3 of my kiddos were delayed. One due to autism, one due to ...

I was a landscape architect for 6 years and then a stay at home mom for 13 years. Now beginning July 18th, I will be a new grad nurse,

Ixchel, my husband has his L5 and S1 fused. The pain never left but a pain pump has really helped tremendously. He just had his third one put in. They last about 5 years. I don't think we would still be married if he didn't have one.

I learned this week why nurses get pinned. I never knew! Florence Nightingale was given a pin by Queen Victoria and then Florence went and made pins for those nurses working for her and the tradition continues. I graduated today! Woot Woot! Laurain...

Lol, I was pissed about that tube feed question at the Kaplan thing. Good luck! I begin the reccommended 30 hours of studying next week.

I got nothing this week. I am done with classes and am focusing on pinning and graduation this week! I will begin studying for my nclex next Monday. This not so young lady is finally going to be a nurse!

Congrats!

6 plus hours of questions for 3 days is not that helpful but what the instructor says in passing.. The little tidbits of info and learning Kaplan Decision tree is helpful. I write down her tips to help me when I study later on.

My school is also a 5 semester school. Sorry you have had a bad experience. I loved my professors for the most part.

I learned today that when you put two different groups of college grads together for a Kaplan Nclex session, things get catty and mean girlish in a heartbeat. Apparently the mean girls didn't like my questions and would group text each other when I ...

Sorry. It's hard when people even minors make bad decisions. I agree it is heartbreaking.

Congrats Krackling!! I am also in my final week of nursing school. I am spending this week doing a Kaplan NCLEX review. So I am learning lots! Herbal medications that begin with a G like garlic, ginko and ginger will affect bleeding.... I really lik...

It was Pa's nickname for Laura.
